SOL
I fell on the playing feild
MIm
The work of an errant heel
DO
The din of the crowd and the loud commotion
LAm RE
When deafening silence and stopped motion
SOL
The season was almost done
MIm
We'd managed it twelve to one
DO
So far I had known no humiliation
LAm RE
In front of my friends and close relation
DOmaj7 SOL
There's my father looking on
DOmaj7 SOL
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm
MIm
With the captain of the other team
DO
And all of this is clear to me
RE DO
They condescend to fix on me a frown
LAm RE
How they love
SOL
The sporting life
SOL
And father had had such hopes
MIm
For a son who would take the ropes
DO
And fufill all his old athletic aspirations
LAm RE
But apparently now there's some complications
SOL
But while I am lying here
MIm
Trying to fight the tears
DO
I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger
LAm RE
Though I think I might lie here a little longer
DOmaj7 SOL
'Cause there's my coach, he's looking down
DOmaj7 SOL
The disappointment in his knitted brow
MIm
I should have known he thinks again,
DO
"I never should have put him in"
RE DO
He turns to load the lemonade away
LAm RE
And breathes in deep
SOL
The sporting life
MIm
The sporting life
DO
The sporting life
SOL
How he loves
(Interlude:)
SOL MIm DO SOL
DOmaj7 SOL
There's my father looking on
DOmaj7 SOL
And there's my girlfriend arm in arm
MIm
With the captain of the other team
DO
And all of this is clear to me
RE DO
They condescend to fix on me a frown
LAm RE
How they love
SOL
The sporting life
MIm
The sporting life
DO
The sporting life
SOL
How they love
(Outro:)
SOL MIm DO SOL
SOL MIm DO SOL
